Racing record of 23700 ZA 2025 FBHU

SIRE LINE – 108268 ZA 2018 “KOLBE”

KOLBE raced seven consecutive weeks and produced:

• 4th – Belmont, 270 km
• 1st – Smithfield, 271 km
• 3rd – Hopetown, 306 km
• 1st – Jamestown, 377 km
• 2nd – Strydenburg, 359 km
• 1st – Colesberg, 354 km

KOLBE's parents

0258 NK DPK 2016 – “BLIKSEM 58”
×
2941 ZA NK 2013 – “SHIBA”

BLIKSEM 58 is described as a son of the famous BAKLEIGAT BLIKSEM line and was a breeder of KOLBE. Another offspring, ZA 19 179836, is recorded as a 1st and equal 1st prize winner.

SHIBA was herself a first-prize producer and was also 1st Ace Young Bird Club in her first nest. She is specifically recorded as the mother of KOLBE.

GOLDEN EYE / MOOIE BLIKSEM FAMILY

The pedigree carries 13364 GB 2006 “GOLDEN EYE”, a major Gaby Vandenabeele-based breeder.

Documented descendants include:

• BDU D14/1280 – 1st WCPTA 459 km against 5,494 pigeons
• 1st WCPTA 530 km against 5,292 pigeons
• 1st WCPTA 290 km against 6,890 pigeons

The pedigree also contains 23546 TRPF 2006 “MOOIE BLIKSEM.” Her descendants include pigeons such as ZA 09/45793, recorded as 1st Ace Young Birds 2009 and 5th Ace Open Pigeon 2009, with numerous early positions, while ZA 11/43039 was 1st Ace Young Birds and 1st Ace Open Pigeon in 2011.

This gives 23700 a sire line with documented Union/Combine and high-volume Federation-level performance, rather than simply famous names in the pedigree.

DAM LINE – 7915 ZA 2022 HPT “ROCKY'S DREAM”

This is arguably the most significant OLR component of the pedigree.

7915 “ROCKY'S DREAM” is bred from the ROCKY / JJJ'S DREAM family. A separate auction pedigree identifies 7915 as the daughter of superbreeder ROCKY, and records that she was sold through Toppigeon for R25,000.

ROCKY – ZA SVPV 1110 '16

ROCKY is documented as an inbred 810/970 Sablon breeder.

His recorded breeding achievements include:

• Same pigeon – 1st Ace Bird Winners Flight Loft 2019
• ZA BPF/D 6952 '19 – 8th Ace Bird Winners Flight Loft 2019
• ZA BPF/D 6986 '19 “JJJ's Pilot Eye” – 4th Ace Pigeon Dinokeng International OLR 2020
• Pilot Eye also recorded 8th Barzalona, 624 km, with R15,500 prize money.

ROCKY's grandchildren include:

• STORM CHASER – 1st Dinokeng OLR Final 2022, winning by approximately four minutes
• OCEAN BREEZE – 2nd/equal winner Dinokeng OLR Final 2022, in the same breakaway.

This is a very strong concentration of One Loft Race performance through one direct family.

JJJ'S DREAM – ZA SVPV 2851 '17

The other side of 7915 is ZA SVPV 2851 '17 “DREAM.”

DREAM bred:

• LINDIE – equal Final winner Sonskyn OLR 2019, 663 km, 50th Ace Pigeon
• ROYAL VICTORY – 24th Final Dinokeng OLR 2019
• CARLADA – 2nd/equal winner Hotspot 3, Victoria Falls World Challenge Pigeon Race 2020, winning $4,000
• VICTORIA – winner of the 9th/Penultimate Race at Diaz OLR 2021, 197 km, 1,455 m/min.

Further family breeding records show that DREAM's descendants include MISS NAVIGATOR, while another branch produced STORMKIND, dam of JEANNIE, an equal Final winner at Dinokeng OLR 2023.

JIMMY'S BOY × HETTIE'S GOLD CONNECTION

The DREAM family is built around 2004 ZA 16 CYRILS “JIMMY'S BOY” × 4863 ZA 14 CYRILS “HETTIE'S GOLD.”

JIMMY'S BOY

JIMMY'S BOY bred in his first season:

• 2802/17 SVPV – equal winner Hotspot 2 CPL One Loft Race

HETTIE'S GOLD produced:

• 6th Final Klapmuts OLR 2016
• 7th Bloemfontein Federation – Victoria West
• 5th Ace Pigeon Klapmuts Lofts
• Related to the sire of the 2013 Klapmuts Final winner

She is also the granddam of CARLADA, the Victoria Falls World Challenge performer that won $4,000.

BOYTJIE × JBM'S GIRL – THE ROCKY FOUNDATION

ROCKY himself comes from the famous:

ZA CYRIL 4615 '14 “BOYTJIE”
×
ZA CYRILS 4864 '14 “JBM'S GIRL”

BOYTJIE

BOYTJIE is recorded as:

• Sire to more than 8 club winners
• Sire to 4 Combine winners
• Sire of a 1st Ace Bird Long Distance
• Grandsire to 2nd Hotspot 1 CPL
• Grandsire to 14th Dinokeng
• Grandsire to 4th CPL Final.

His auction history is particularly notable: BOYTJIE sold for R52,000.

JBM'S GIRL is one of the key hens in the entire pedigree.

She is recorded as full sister to:

• Sire of the Klapmuts Final winner 2013
• Grandsire of the Klapmuts Final 2015 runner-up

• Sire of the 2nd Ace Pigeon Points Winners Flight Lofts 2015.

She also became the mother of ROCKY.

JBM'S GIRL sold for R86,000.

The two parents of ROCKY therefore have documented auction prices of:

BOYTJIE – R52,000
JBM'S GIRL – R86,000
Combined – R138,000

A 2023 auction also records a sibling to ROCKY selling for R25,000.

INTERNATIONAL / WORLD-LEVEL CONNECTIONS

There are several internationally connected branches in the pedigree.

BELG 4253810 '07 “SUPERBREEDER 810” is a major Aelbrecht/Sablon ancestor. He was purchased for R75,000 and is recorded as sire of six club winners, four Combine winners and a 1st Ace Bird Long Distance PRPU 2010. His children and grandchildren have subsequently produced One Loft performers.

The pedigree also goes through Limoges, with a documented international record as 1st National Champion Long Distance KBDB, and the famous Marcel Aelbrecht BAK 17 family.

On the OLR side, the family has international-event results through:

• Dinokeng International OLR
• Victoria Falls World Challenge Pigeon Race
• Barzalona races
• Cape Town International OLR
• Sonskyn OLR
• Diaz OLR.

VERIFIED AUCTION VALUES FOUND

A highly interesting Marlbank OLR 2026 racer bred from two proven performance families. The sire line goes directly through KOLBE, a remarkable seven-week racer that recorded 1st, 1st and 1st victories together with multiple other top positions, backed by the proven BLIKSEM 58, SHIBA, GOLDEN EYE and MOOIE BLIKSEM genetics.

The dam side is equally strong, coming through ROCKY'S DREAM, combining the legendary ROCKY × DREAM family. ROCKY is responsible for OLR performers including 4th Ace Dinokeng International OLR, Pilot Eye, Miss Navigator, and the Dinokeng Final winners Storm Chaser and Ocean Breeze. DREAM produced Lindie, an equal Sonskyn OLR Final winner, Carlada, a Victoria Falls World Challenge performer who won $4,000, and Victoria, a Diaz OLR race winner.

The pedigree also contains the valuable Boytjie × JBM'S Girl foundation, with the two parents of ROCKY having documented auction prices of R52,000 and R86,000 respectively, while ROCKY'S DREAM herself was recorded as having been sold for R25,000.

Overall pedigree content: KOLBE / BLIKSEM / GOLDEN EYE / 810 Sablon / BAK 17 / Boytjie / JBM'S Girl / Rocky / Hettie's Gold / Jimmy's Boy / Dream — a combination with documented club, Federation, Combine, National Ace and multiple One Loft Race performances, including international OLR events.
